Razer Blade Stealth keeps losing Wifi

I have a follow up to this issue that I completely forgot to link to this thread previously. Me and another user have fixed our WiFi issue. It seems it was a WiFi 6 or Netgear router issue that was effecting both of us. I’ve included the link below to the other thread. Hopefully this helps you as well! /razer-blade-stealth-early-2019-wi-fi-issues.55831/

dbrand 2019 Blade Stealth GTX (Amazing!)

Mines still holding up fine. I’ve been taking it in and out of a tight sleeve for the past week or so. No signs of peeling or wear at all.

I can’t really comment on the durability of mine yet. But from application the material seems pretty thick and durable. I don’t really see how it could wear easily or peel up. The adhesive seems super durable. I got the matte black finish for the palm rest I’m curious to see how that will hold up. I am pretty OCD with my laptop so it gets clean pretty often. The only real issue I could see happening might be the matte finish slowly turning shiny after years of use. Going back to my OCD the reason I got the skin in the first place was because of how fragile/delicate the black anodized aluminum is on all the blades. I had mine for a week never moved it off my desk and somehow got a nick on the straight edge of the top display. Have absolutely no clue how it happened. Luckily it was easily fixed with a Sharpie black paint pen (Note: Not a regular sharpie pen. The regular pens leave a shiny oil slick purple color).

Razer Blade Stealth (Early 2019) Wi-Fi Issues

I’m also way past my return window for the RAX120. What I did was I kept my RAX120 functioning on the AX setting since all my other non-AX devices are working fine on it. And I set up the AC TP-Link router in another bedroom. So basically I have 2 routers for my apartment. Which is a little insane but, I didn’t want to completely stop using my Netgear router. So I opted into getting the $60 TP- Link router and just basically having that for my Blade Stealth and my Surface Laptop. The set-up is working fine for now. Surprisingly I’m getting the same WiFi speed from the $60 TP-Link as I am from the RAX120. So for $60 I’m now very happy that I at least have fast, functioning WiFi. Hopefully Netgear will fix the issue on their end and I can go back to using my AX router eventually!

Razer Blade Stealth (Early 2019) Wi-Fi Issues

Just posting back with an update. I have successfully solved/fixed my problem for now. It seems it was the router that was causing my problems. Out of last resort I went and purchased a simple TP-Link AC only router (AC1750). After using this router for 2 total days I’ve had zero issues with my WiFi dropping and I have consistent speeds. It seems my issue had to do with the Netgear RAX120.

Well my first speed drop happened this morning after switching to AC on the router. :( Did you also disable AX on your Wi-Fi card? If so, do you know which firmware version you're running for the Wi-Fi card?

I really hope someone in the universe comes up with a viable solution so AX can actually be useful! Thanks for the possible solution. Fingers crossed I’ve had no speed drop as of yet on AC!

Razer Blade Stealth (Early 2019) Wi-Fi Issues

My case is exactly the same as yours. There’s no rhyme or reason as to why my download speeds suddenly drop but when they do they drop to most of the time below 1Mbps. If I toggle on and off the WiFi it returns back to normal network speeds (around 350 Mbps). The other system I have is a Surface Laptop 3 with the same AX201 card. It produces the exact same issue. I will be getting a Oneplus 8 Pro in the next few days that will have AX. I could test that to see if it produces the same issue.

I agree. I upgraded to AX to be able to actually take advantage of its benefits. I will change my settings to AC and report back if it also fixed my issue! I’m going to guess it’s not so much an issue with the RAX120 router but is most likely stemming from the WiFi card itself. There’s tons of other systems (Dell, Asus, Microsoft’s Surface line, etc.) that are also having issues with this card. It could just so happen that everyone who’s posting about issues is using an AX rated router? Maybe the 201 WiFi card is not playing nicely with the AX routers. Thanks for the possible solution/fix! No ones suggested disabling AX on the router itself let alone a positive result from any suggested fix so far. I’ll report back with my results!

I also have a Nighthawk RAX120. Did disabling the AX features completely remove the WiFi issues? If so I might try that next as a solution. I also have considered trying the 2.4ghz network to see if that eliminates the issue.

Intel WiFi 6 AX201 card no longer functioning. Stealth Late 2019

Hi I'm posting this reply on all the forum posts as this seems to be a major problem. I am having the same exact issue as well on my 2 day old Blade Stealth (Late 2019). It seems this is a known issue with the AX201 chip installed in the system. There are 2 other Razer forum posts about this exact issue with no solution from Razer yet. A quick Google search renders multiple other brands also having this exact issue in their systems. Intel has yet to fix it yet.
